HTTP Referer

I was writing a WordPress plugin earlier today and noticed an inconsistency in spelling while referencing other plugins..

Wikipedia on Referrer: “Referer is a common misspelling of the word referrer. It is so common, in fact, that it made it into the official specification of HTTP – the communication protocol of the World Wide Web – and has therefore become the standard industry spelling when discussing HTTP referers.”

Use a spell checker next time, asshole.
